The bill amends Section 23-27.3-109.1 of the General Laws in Chapter 23-27.3, which pertains to the State Building Code. It introduces new language that empowers the committee to adopt codes and standards without the need for approval from a legislative regulation committee, which is being eliminated from the current law. The new provisions require the committee to submit an annual report to the General Assembly detailing the codes and standards adopted, including proposed amendments and a summary of public testimony received during hearings.

Additionally, the bill removes several specific provisions related to the legislative regulation committee, including its composition, voting procedures, and the requirement for the committee to approve the state building code regulations before they are filed with the Secretary of State. The act is designed to streamline the process of adopting building codes and standards, enhancing efficiency in ensuring public health, safety, and welfare. The changes will take effect upon passage of the bill.
